Building
the Cattery......
Hi, I'm Woody the resident Stud around here. When
mum decided that I was going to live with her she looked around for suitable
accommodation but could not find what would really suit my high standards!
luckily for me Uncle Mick has designed something suitable. He then recruited
most of the family to help out!
While
the work was going on I had privileged accommodation with Auntie Karen who
lives next door to mum and breeds British shorthairs, I like to chat up her
girls - they don't really like me though, British girls eh?!
Here are some
pictures of the work on my new house, it was a big project as you can see!
This
is the garden before the work started, a bit of a mess Mum said it's cause dad
has got MS and couldn't look after it anymore so he said that mum could take
his greenhouse away and make me a new house
Uncle
Mick, Auntie Chrissy and Uncle Tom helped Mum to take away the hedge and the
old greenhouse and then they started on the new fence to keep me safe, here
they are taking a tea break
This
is the new fence going up, mum said the fence posts were very heavy and digging
the holes was hard work, well i think i'm worth it!
Now
it was time for the foundations to be mapped out and dug, Uncle Mick asked for
some more help from Uncle Paul and Uncle John
The
very noisy cement mixer arrived to make the foundations here Uncle Mick is putting
in the wall
Now
the foundation walls have been built its now time to fill in the gap and put
in the floor
Now
the the paving for the housing area starts!
A
bank holiday with some sunshine and the framework goes up
Barbeque, water fights, really this isn't getting my house built is it?
Ah home at last I like my new home very much thanks to ...Mick Bridge, Chrissy
Bridge, Tom Bridge, Siobhan Nutley, Lee Mountford, Paul King, Paul'Boz'King,
John King for their help in making my house, and thanks to Karen Kempsell for
keeping me safe while my new home was being built.
